Our Little Adventure
I am hesitant to use a phrase that would suggest I have, er, stemmed the tide of work on my plate. As soon as you us that phrase – two words, one beginning with “c” and the other beginning with “u” — a male bovine by-product hits the rotary cooling appliance. In fact, I know [...]

On Deadline
Folks, I do apologize. I owe you an account of our Saturday adventure, but I am completely swamped with writing for which nice people are cutting me paychecks. I need to finish my next indexing lesson (made a 99 on the graded one that arrived today, go me!) and I’m expecting an editorial job via [...]

Sunday Synopsis
The week ended on a high note with our excursion to the barrel races, a tale I will tell, but today I paid the piper – writing like a fiend to catch up on all the keyword assignments due Monday. This was the price for playing and having such a great time and it was [...]

The Wookie swears he did not surprise R. when he took this photo, that she was just mugging for the camera. We had a great time today and she handled it all brilliantly — and when we got home fell sound asleep for three hours.

Getting Ready For A Small Excursion
I just looked at the clock and realized it’s almost 11:30 with no blog update from me today. I’ve been sitting here fine tuning the mix on my iPod Shuffle because tomorrow Mr. and Mrs. Wookie, Missy J. and I are taking R. on a bit of an adventure. My friend M.H. and her daughter, [...]

She Had to Look Fabulous
This afternoon both R. and I had our hair cut over at F.’s salon. Going there is always something of a combination between Greater Tuna and Steel Magnolias. F. is in the process of writing his memoirs and today regaled me with a tale of going to the funeral home to do a little old [...]

Your Monday or My Monday?
Time has always been a preoccupation of mine. In high school my watch was set exactly with the bell. I knew down to the second how much time I had between classes and made it a habit to walk in at the absolute last millisecond before I could be counted tardy. Most of my teachers [...]

So That Makes You Older?
I sat my groceries down on the conveyor belt including a bottle of wine I picked up for our guests at Movie Group tomorrow evening. The new checker looked at me and said, “May I see your driver’s license?”
Yes, I know someone told him to do it, but I just couldn’t help myself. There’s not [...]

Synopsis Delayed
Well, it’s been quite some time since I’ve missed a blog update as simple as Synopsis Sunday. The truth is, I simply had so much freelance work on my plate, I forgot. I wrote like a fiend on Saturday to get enough work done to be able to enjoy the company of my friends for [...]
